Down‐regulation of endothelial cell growth inhibitors by enhanced MYCN oncogene expression in human neuroblastoma cells

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence indicates that the genetic alterations of the multistage process of malignant transformation appear to activate tumor neovascularization by altering the balance between stimulators and inhibitors of angiogenesis. In the present study, we have attempted to define the effect of enhanced MYCN oncogene expression on the profile of endothelial cell growth modulators in neuroblastoma cells. We report...
